Picking Up Attributes From Today

Lance was incredibly excited after receiving Meng Lei's affirmation. He took out his magic communication device right away and informed his scoundrel friends about it. He also got those friends to advertise it widely and spread the news!

The news spread like wildfire!

In no time, it had spread throughout Fire Dragon Academy!

Fatty Hart sat in class as per usual.

He had always attended earth-elemental magic classes with Meng Lei during the last three months. Although he didn't understand why Meng Lei wanted to come along and attend earth-elemental classes, it didn't matter, anyway. With Meng Lei for company, he wouldn't be lonely anymore!

However, Meng Lei had stopped coming for classes ever since the mid-term examination. This bored Hart out of his mind, and he became very listless in class.

"Fatty, why are you still here?"

"What?"

Fatty Hart was stunned for a moment before he directed his gaze to the classmate speaking to him.

"Lance from Class 2 is going to have a showdown with Meng Lei from our class. They have probably already gone ahead to the battle platform to get permission for a showdown by now. Isn't Meng Lei your buddy? Why aren't you going over to take a look?"

"Lance and Meng Lei? Showdown?"

Fatty Hart was startled for a while. Then, he shook his head several times in a row and said, "That's impossible! How can Lance, that piece of trash, be a match for my Big Brother Meng? Isn't he just looking for torture?"

"Fatty, you're too out of the loop!"

(⊙o⊙)

"Uhh?!" Fatty Hart was astonished!

"I heard that Lance consumed a stalk of Dragon Bone Herb recently, so his body has already broken through to fifth-grade. With his mighty Fifth-Grade Warrior battle capabilities, isn't dealing with Meng Lei going to be a piece of cake for him?"

"Dragon Bone Herb? What the f*ck!"

Fatty Hart's countenance changed dramatically. He didn't bother with classes anymore and headed out at once!

"Dragon Bone Herb! Has that broken horn of a throat really consumed the Dragon Bone Herb? F*ck, that's really some dumb luck he has!"

Others might not know about the Dragon Bone Herb, but Fatty Hart knew exactly what it was. That thing was an extremely rare plant, and the reason why it was rare was that it grew on Colossal Dragons carcasses and matured by absorbing the dead Colossal Dragons' life essences!

As such, Dragon Bone Herbs had a special effect. It could refine the concentration of Dragon blood in Dragon People's bodies and allow their bodies to undergo an explosive power-up for a short period of time. In addition, the effect… was the best when consumed by people below sixth-grade!

Therefore, to Dragon People on a lower social stratum, the Dragon Bone Herb was a miraculous elixir for refining one's bloodline for sure. It was a treasure that all Dragon People dreamed of and longed for!

Fatty Hart didn't expect Lance, that piece of trash, to have actually obtained something like that. That was truly some dumb luck he had! The heavens must be blind!

"I have to stop this battle! Meng Lei can't possibly win!"

One could say that hurrying there at the fastest speed he could muster was truly a tough task for Fatty Hart. At a height of less than 1.6 meters tall, and with a weight of close to 100 kilograms, running was practically torture to him!

But what was he to do?

He could only grit his teeth and push on!

More than 10 minutes later, he finally reached the battle platform!

He arrived only to see Meng Lei and Lance standing on the battle platform. The magic shield had already risen into the air and enveloped the entire battle platform. The teacher in charge of guarding the battle platform stood in the corner and served as the judge!

Students that had hurried over upon hearing the news filled up the area outside the battle platform. There were splendidly-dressed Dragon People nobility, as well as simply-dressed human commoners; there were seniors in the higher grades, as well as first-year freshmen!

They pointed and gesticulated as they speculated wildly, making the place extremely lively!

"Excuse me, please let me through!"

"What are you squeezing in here for? Can't you see that there are people here?"

After making a Herculean effort to squeeze through the crowd, and seeing the two people on the battle platform, Fatty Hart shouted, "Old bro! Don't fight with him! You're not his match!"

"Did you hear that? That useless loser is calling out to you!"

Lance had also heard what Fatty Hart said. The corners of his mouth quirked upward slightly, and a smug expression came over his face. "Hurry and admit defeat if you know what's good for you, so as to avoid making a fool out of yourself later and embarrassing yourself!"

Meng Lei chuckled leisurely and made an 'OK' hand gesture at the little fatty, signaling to him to keep calm. Then, he said, "You can start now. I'm in a hurry and don't have the time to waste going on and on about nothing with you here!"

"Hehe! I just hate that cool demeanor of yours so much. What are you being so arrogant for? You're nothing but cheap human trash with a lowly bloodline. What's there for you to be so arrogant about?!"

Lance looked savage as he said, "Today, I'm going to thoroughly embarrass you in front of so many people here. I want everyone to know that a cheap piece of trash will always be a cheap piece of trash, so don't ever think of comparing yourself to Dragon People like us!"

"Exactly! Kill that lowly human!"

"Let him know how mighty we Dragon People are!"

"Lance! Teach him a good lesson, and show him the Dragon People's strength!"

"We Dragon People are the strongest…"

All the Dragon People nobility watching the battle also echoed him. The teacher, who was acting as a judge and standing in the corner, frowned slightly but chose to remain silent.

He had long since gotten used to this!

In this kingdom presided over by Dragon People, the human race's social standing was ultimately lower than the Dragon People's. Dragon People looking down on humans was a kind of normalcy that nobody could change!

Even if a Magician enjoyed considerably high status, it ultimately still couldn't compare with that of Dragon People of the same level. Take Ninth-Grade Magicians, for example. Dragon People could become generals at war or ministers in the cabinet, and could be conferred as Dukes or Marquises, whereas humans could only take up positions in magic academies at best, and be conferred as Earls!

This kingdom… It ultimately didn't belong to the human race!

"Is that so?"

Meng Lei smiled, and very brightly at that. "Then why don't you strike and let me, a piece of a cheap piece of trash, have a look at how impressive you are?"

"I'll satisfy you!"

Lance let out a sinister laugh and stepped onto the platform with one foot. By borrowing the ground's powerful rebound force, his entire self leaped high into the air. Then, he smashed his fist downward at Meng Lei!

"Get down on the floor, you cheap piece of trash!"

Suspended in mid-air and looking down at Meng Lei underneath him, Lance was so agitated that his blood was boiling. He had waited very long for this day!

Yes, very, very long!

Ever since Meng Lei had humiliated him on the day of the entrance assessment, he had sworn to take his revenge for sure. He wanted to sweep away all the humiliation he had suffered in the past and get back his prestige!

After a few months of waiting, he had finally found his chance!

The Dragon Bone Herb!

It was a treasure that Dragon People on a lower social stratum longed for the most!

And he had gotten his hands on it!

After that, he had broken through in a single night, and his battle capabilities had soared!

"Don't worry! I won't let you lose so easily! I will break your arms and crush your teeth so that you'll know what the outcome of offending me, Lance, is! Hehehe…"

Lance couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud while he formed beautiful daydreams in his mind. Just as he was about to reach the climax, a dazzling bolt of lightning came down from the heavens and struck him right in the head!

Boom!

Lance was instantly enveloped in lightning. Every strand of his hair stood on end. Through the harsh electric currents, one could even see the ghastly white skeleton inside him!

"I couldn't help striking when I saw how lewd your smile was. So sorry about that!"

As Meng Lei waved his hands, lightning snakes crashed down one after another, as though a machine gun spewing bullets!

This wasn't a high-grade spell, but a second-grade one, Lightning Snake Flurry!

Meng Lei could already instantly release first-grade spells when he had been a Third-Grade Magician!

He was now a Fifth-Grade Magician, so instant release of second-grade spells was naturally a piece of cake for him!

"You bastard!"

Several lightning snakes wandered about inside his body. Although they couldn't hurt Lance, it felt incredibly humiliating. This was totally different from the scene that he had imagined!

"You cheap piece of trash, I'm going to kill you!"

As Lance let out one after another furious roar, he charged toward Meng Lei with electric currents all around him. He had a very strong and tough body, so second-grade spells couldn't hurt him at all. At best, they could only numb him!

"That would depend on whether you have the chance to or not!"

Meng Lei shook his head and laughed softly. Then, he slowly uttered two words, "Thunder Python!"

Crackle!

A five meters-long and incredibly thick and muscular lightning python descended from the heavens practically at the same time and swallowed Lance in one gulp!

"That's…"

"Instant release of a third-grade spell!?"
